Many organizations pursue the idea of “audit once, report many” expecting efficiency to come from tooling or shortcuts. In practice, they often experience the opposite—repeated evidence requests, reworked controls, and the same conversations every audit cycle. The underlying issue is simple: reuse isn’t something you buy. It’s the result of compliance maturity.

In this fireside conversation, leaders across audit, GRC, and vCISO disciplines unpack what actually enables reuse—and why it breaks down when these functions operate in isolation. From the auditor’s perspective, reuse depends on clear control intent, consistency, and audit quality. From the GRC platform lens, it requires structured controls, normalized evidence, and data integrity. From the vCISO viewpoint, it hinges on governance, strategic alignment, and connecting business risk to compliance execution.

“Technology enables reuse only when controls and evidence are structured, normalized, and trusted across the entire compliance ecosystem.”
Stas Bojoukha, CISSP, Founder & CEO, Compyl

The discussion explores how mature organizations design compliance programs that reduce duplication, support multiple frameworks, and compound value over time—without cutting corners or compromising independence. This session isn’t about completing more audits faster. It’s about building compliance once and making it work harder year after year.
